<p>Yes and no .</p>
<p>Yes it will work but its still a lot of work to complete instead of a simple 2-1 adapter</p>
<p>You can charge 2 x 4S batteries together in parallel which is exactly what you are doing with your modification. </p>
<p>remember you dont need to balance charge every time. In my case I balance charge every pack the night before I need them and if I need to recharge at the flying site I can parallel charge 2 packs but do not use the balance port. its also quicker. </p>

<p>The charge time for 1 pack is half the time for 2 packs together. </p>
<p>I have yet to see any one demonstrate any problem with connecting 2 batteries that are at different levels of charge. yes, they will both assume a charge level midpoint between the 2 extremes as one charges the other and they will then both need to be charged. keeping same level packs it to be preferred. </p>

<p><span>In one pack it will act as 4S2P, I can charge it and balance with one power and one balance connector. Less wires, better handling/connecting. I have charger for 6S battery max, I can't charge two 4S together. Parallel connection when batteries are discharged can be dangerous as on cells are different voltages.</span></p>

<p>why not just keep the existing battery packs and use a 2 -1 adapter to plug in both batteries. I've been doing this for years and never had problems. its also much easier to charge the separate packs . </p>
<p>If you solder the packs together then you cannot balance charge the packs together.. also if one pack fails its easy to change out. </p>
